Something I still use with Google is keyword email alerts. I have several set up:
1) keywords for jobs e.g dog walking Oxford, technical product lead uk, or whatever.
2) subject or topic key words e.g arch Linux, personal blog etc
They’re basically the same thing; a keyword search
On a daily basis then I will get an email from Google, with recent search results for these keyword alerts. One email per keyword search result. Here’s an example of one that I have set up for Linux:
Here’s Google’s page, explaining what you need to do to set up an alert:

I don’t have to be looking for a job, but it helps me to keep my finger on the pulse, as I work in a niche role.
The keywords could be anything, but I received one email for each set of keyword(s) that I set up. E.g.
1) keyword: linux - I get one email a day using this. I don’t get any say about what results go into that email.
2) arch Linux: would get one daily email, with anything arch Linux related. Again, I have no say really what goes into the emails from Google. I don’t even get a say in when I receive them.
Happy to answer any questions you might have!
